What is it?

 

Surface levelling & floor preparation

HTC Superprep™ uses floor grinding, with HTC's floor preparation machines, to remove floor coverings such as epoxy, paint, carpets, carpet adhesive and self-levelling compound while the contractor gets a perfectly smooth surface to lay the flooring on.

Wherever possible, it is better to keep the floor surface instead of destroying both the floor and the floor covering. You avoid the need to use self-levelling compound and unnecessary material costs in the form of extra coverings to fill out irregularities, which are both expensive and time-consuming.
 

      HTC Superprep™ also makes it easy to roughen up an old covering, such as paint, to improve the adhesiveness for the next coat of paint. Regardless of the intended final result of the floor, there are huge benefits from using grinding as part of the process.

With over 20 years in the industry, HTC is currently the global leader and is driving development towards faster and more effective methods of improving and finishing floors. Leading development in an industry that is more than a thousand years old is something we are proud of.

The Best Method

 

Grinding - The best method by a long shot

For nearly 50 years, scarifying and shot blasting machines have looked and functioned the same. For those who still believe that these methods are the smartest way of machining a floor, it’s time to think again.

The development of HTC’s machines and tools means that there is no longer any reason at all for continuing to use old-fashioned methods and equipment.

Users of HTC’s equipment around the world who have kept up with developments save both time and money when they start to use modern equipment – and HTC is leading the trend.
 

          

Grinding

  • Functions on all surfaces
  • Many areas of use
  • A flat surface can always be achieved
  • Close to edges
  • Low noise level and little dust

 

Scarifying / Shot blasting

  • Impossible to get a flat surface. Grinding or self-levelling compound is required afterwards
  • Leaves lines that can often be seen under the covering
  • Extra covering material is required
  • Leaves 70-90 mm from the wall
  • Lots of dust, vibrations and noise
  • Few areas of use

 

 

Many work areas

 

 

 Concrete grinding

When grinding concrete floors with HTC's floor prep grinders, the concrete skin is removed and the stronger concrete exposed. At the same time, the surface is ground level, which reduces the need for self-levelling compound and reduces the quantity of floor covering, with major financial savings as a result. If you change tools, you can continue to polish the concrete into an easily cleaned, sustainable, high-gloss concrete floor, an HTC Superfloor™.

Thick coverings

Thick coverings refers to epoxy, self-levelling compound, linoleum and plastic matting. In one sweep, 5 mm of epoxy or self-levelling compound can be removed with floor prep grinders. When grinding away matting, the adhesive is also ground away, and the floor is ready to be covered with a new carpet, covering, tiles, or ready for polishing.
 

 

Thin coverings

Thin coverings refers to adhesive, paint or lighter grinding to improve the adhesion of a new covering on top of an old one. The floor prep grinder function superbly for lighter grinding of irregularities in the self-levelling compound.
 

 

 

Natural stone

With a simple tool change under the floor prep grinder, you can transform your grinder, allowing you to grind any type of marble, granite or terrazzo floor.
 

 

 

Wood grinding

With HTC’s grinding machine, anyone can grind a wooden floor. You can get close to the edges and do not need to follow the grain of the wood. If the machine is used with an external vacuum cleaner, the floor can be ground dust-free.
